That's how long it took Ingram to scamper up the middle for a 70-yard touchdown. That's how long it took Ingram to bump his rushing yardage from 79 yards to 149.

That's how long it took Ingram to put together a "SportsCenter" highlight that Heisman voters will see after Alabama's 31-3 win against Mississippi State.

"It was very nice watching him get smaller and smaller," right tackle Drew Davis said of seeing Ingram sprint toward the end zone.

Until that run, Ingram's night was ordinary. He was on pace to gain his fewest yards since the 50 he put up against Arkansas on Sept. 26 - long before his name was on any Heisman list.

Then those his fourth-quarter run happened.

"That was exactly as you write it up," Ingram said. "It a very well-executed play. (Right guard) Barrett Jones did a great job of pulling to the linebacker, and the rest of the line got a hat on a hat.

"Right up the middle, gone."

Said quarterback Greg McElroy, "We're not concerned about the Heisman Trophy. I know Mark's not. He's all about winning. But I know that goes a long way."

To that point, Ingram's most memorable play was writhing on the ground after a 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. But the injury was just a cut above his right eye that left him looking less like a Heisman pretty-boy and more like the heavyweight champ.

"I feel like I just went 12 rounds," Ingram said. "It was a battle, they beat up on me a little bit. But I came back fighting strong every time. The team did a good job executing tonight.

"I've got to give the line and receivers credit. They always do a good job creating seams for us."
